It's not him! They've started a fund to get the poor guy a free lunch!

Google "Satoshi". A pokemon character. Sakamoto, the surname of a Japanese pop star. Also an anime character: a little black cat.
Yeah, sure it is't an alias.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5319f1406da8113c2bb2b4bdSatoshi NakamotoFri, 07 Mar 2014 11:18:08 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5319f1406da8113c2bb2b4bd
I wrote both of those documents and introduced errors in the first one so that they can be used for that exact purpose. Don't forget, I am a very smart man.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531960b1ecad0492748b456eOMGFri, 07 Mar 2014 01:01:21 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531960b1ecad0492748b456e

"Seriously? These cops should be fired if this is really how it really went down."
There were no cops? Cops are dumb. How many cops know on bitcoin?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318f300ecad04e7748dff52vegasnowThu, 06 Mar 2014 17:13:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318f300ecad04e7748dff52
The sad truth is - she just desperately wants her fifteen minutes.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318ec2069bedde71f354549FreeJack2k2Thu, 06 Mar 2014 16:44:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318ec2069bedde71f354549
*Facepalm* It was an open source project, anyone who had the skills and time could be allowed to contribute to it (that's how Gavin Andresen became involved). A team hired by the cartel LOL...geezuz, go back to watching Sons Of Anarchy.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318eba5ecad045d698dff52FreeJack2k2Thu, 06 Mar 2014 16:41:57 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318eba5ecad045d698dff52
Who do you think this whitepaper was being published for? You obviously aren't familiar with how this subculture worked, five years ago. NOBODY was going to go to the trouble of having an academic copy-edit their proposal. He developed this while being active on crypto websites and early collaborators (like Andresen) had regular correspondence with him. Open source code development is VERY loosely organized...the concept that he would have "subordinates" to do is PR and copy-editing is laughable.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318ea0b6bb3f7675052981bFreeJack2k2Thu, 06 Mar 2014 16:35:07 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318ea0b6bb3f7675052981b
I don't care if she was right and this IS the guy who invented Bitcoin. What was gained by publishing all of his information...other than notoriety for the author and magazine sales for Newsweek? Nothing. It neither lends credibility to Bitcoin, nor robs it of any. At best, it's a pointless piece of trivia that will end up on the Bitcoin Wikipedia page for people to see in 20 years. At worst, a person who quite OBVIOUSLY wanted to protect his privacy had all of it stripped away by an unapologetic reporter with no scruples. I have a feeling she'd object to it if someone decided to publish her address and a photo of her house and car, if the public knew she was potentially sitting on a hundred million dollars.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318dc576da8119a668dff50John RatcliffThu, 06 Mar 2014 15:36:39 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318dc576da8119a668dff50
Really, one guy couldn't write a piece of software cobbled together from a bunch of open source libraries in a couple of years? Sheesh, I wrote three video games 100% by myself and I doubt I'm as smart as this guy is.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d3906bb3f71b0452981esnakiThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:59:12 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d3906bb3f71b0452981e
So what's are the differences between Leah McGrath Goodman and a paparazzi? No wonder she's still at Newsweek. All the decent journalist left that sinking boat a long time ago.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d297ecad0438128dff56JaysonThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:55:03 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d297ecad0438128dff56
Yes it was pretty gibberish. My guess the right went through a number of editors and proofreaders to get that refined result. He may be the brainchild of it but he wasn't alone and had subordinates under him.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d1fe69bedd033d354545JPerryThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:52:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d1fe69bedd033d354545
Seriously? These cops should be fired if this is really how it really went down.
"I came back two hours later, knocked on the door, and he called the cops.
But when they got there they said, "Oh what did you want to say?" I said, "I want to talk to him about Bitcoin," and it turned out they wanted to hear what he had to say — they were just like "Oh really?" /facepalmhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d18a6bb3f7e37e52981bJaysonThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:50:34 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318d18a6bb3f7e37e52981b
Edited for brevity and clarity. A run through the spell checker would improve on the clarity part in a major way. Lots of post secondary education words used but so many are misspelled like a secondary school senior on a midterm assignment.
Try again and resubmit. Seriously.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318cfd0eab8ea871f529818Ivan RaszlThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:43:12 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318cfd0eab8ea871f529818
The explanation of why she didn't think Satoshi Nakamoto was a pseudo was unsatisfactory to say the least. The reason she went with the name being real is because that's all she had to go on. And at the end she didn't hit a jackpot. At this point this is just a hypothesis. There is zero evidence to support it. Fitting a profile is not evidence. Thousands can fit the same profile and she may have the wrong profile to begin with.
It's somewhat sloppy to publish an article without any evidence. The least she should've done is to mention that it's just a hypothesis.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318cf856da81178308dff4eJason Brand StThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:41:57 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318cf856da81178308dff4e
Its not possible for 1 person to create this. This is not how software development works. He would have to be serious expert in so much sh*t and give it thousands of man hours, not to mention testing, debugging etc.
It was a team, possibly hired by drug cartel. Because screenshots of emails on the internet are so true.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318cdfdecad048b048dff4ejilldaskThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:35:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318cdfdecad048b048dff4e
AKA I got mad this guy really didn't give a **** about money and fame and made him hate his life by taking what he treasured most: PRIVACY.
Picture of house and plate and so much detail about where he lives prove how much she is lying (last question)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318c8de6da811480a8dff53John RatcliffThu, 06 Mar 2014 14:13:34 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5318c8de6da811480a8dff53
I have doubt in my mind. Explain how this train collector who can barely write legible English (on the left) wrote the bitcoin paper on right right. Yeah, I have a lot of doubts. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/DB4oq5s.png" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://i.imgur.com/DB4oq5s.png</a>
